IBM Spectrum Protect Client Encryption with IBM Spectrum Scale

Spectrum Protect backup encryption using include.Encrypt for Spectrum Scale client is not working due to unrecognized format "Include Encrypt".

Error:
mmbackup does not recognize this include rule format: Include Encrypt.

The tsbackup33 perl script, the line with "does not recognize this include rule format:" ) you will see that for some reason Include Encrypt is not being recognized! nevertheless if you run #‌dsmc with include.encrypt works just fine, and mmbackup/tsbackup33 is using dsmc after all.

So using dsmc alone, encryption is working but not with mmbackup.
